Family Portrait: Melanie

I did family portraits a little while back for Melanie and her two precious boys Ethan and Cayden. They were a blast to shoot and brought their own cowboy hats and guitars. We got some nice studio shots then went outside for some sunny Texas style photos. And of course I had to break out the bubbles at the end because who doesn't like bubbles?

Family Portraits: The Trotts

I had a portrait session with the Trott family recently and I had a blast with them and their four beautiful children. I set up my antique iron bed in the yard and we had one of my more unique family sessions complete with a pillow fight and flying feathers! The kids really enjoyed it and I hope everyone else does too. So thank you Alexandra, George, Samuel, Isiah, Envy, and Rookie for indulging one of my more unusual ideas!

Portrait Session: Logan

Back in December I had the pleasure of shooting Logan's first Christmas Portraits. He is such a happy baby - and so much hair! We even got in a few family portrait with his Mom and Dad.

I'm Back!!!

So.... I haven't posted in awhile, a long while actually but I have a pretty good reason. Introducing Archer West Hurt born 12/9/2009 weighing 5 pounds 8 ounces! He was born 5 weeks early which really threw off my very carefully planned maternity leave and caused me to neglect my blog for far too long. On the plus side I have many shoots to post in the near future!

I promise not to turn this blog into a showcase for my own child but I can't resist posting at least one slideshow of my precious little man.

Family Portraits: The Guerreros

I had the pleasure of photographing Guerrero family a few weeks ago. We went out to a family friend's ranch to take some relaxed kid portraits and the results are terrific! Hannah, Reilly, and Rex had a blast feeding the ponies and chasing the cows. It certainly makes my job easier when the subjects are so cute! Thanks Hannah, Reilly, and Rex, I'll take your portraits anytime.

Portrait Session: Andrew and Meagan

A while back I did some family portraits for Andrew and Meagan. They just found out that they are pregnant and wanted some pre-baby family pictures before the baby comes. They were such fun to work with I can't wait until they come back with the new baby!

Portrait Session : Lesie and Mickel

A while back I did some family portraits for Leslie and Mickel. They just found out that they are pregnant and wanted some pre-baby family pictures with their fur baby Daisy before the real baby comes. They were such fun to work with I can't wait until they come back with the new baby!

Family Portraits: The Vaughn Family

I had the pleasure of photographing Greg and Missy's lovely family a few weeks ago. We went out to Riverside park to take some relaxed family portraits and the results are terrific! It's great to have a chance to document the lives of such nice easy going people. Good luck to Greg and Missy with the beginning of school!

Family Portraits: The Perkins

Over Memorial Day Weekend(I know, it was that long ago) I had the pleasure of photographing 4 generations of the Perkins family. We did a very relaxed session in their backyard and the pictures turned out wonderful. Here are a few.

Family Portraits: The Martins

I sat down with the Martins last week and got some portraits worked out for Christmas gifts. So here it is folks, proof positive that family portraits need not be boring. You can have great pictures without stiff shoulders, say cheese smiles, and matching sweaters. Billy and Vanessa were a joy to work with and their kids, Will and Kinley are very energetic and creative. The baseball shot was Will and Kinley's idea.
